I am writing this in here now because I am feeling around for better words to describe this.



Homesteading at an easy and delightful pace rather than homesteading from the position of desperation.

Stephen Sully wrote:The question i have is when stacking the logs, is it best to put the more rotted logs on the top or underneath the fresher wood?



I guess I would want diversity.  Sometimes one way, sometimes the opposite.  Sometimes mixed.  

The key is that the rotted stuff will hold a lot of water and nutrients, but not give much structure.  The fresher stuff will give more structure now, and more soil function later.

Samantha stopped by and gave an edibles walk.  She pointed at a dozen foods growing next to the house.  As we walked, everybody tasted all the things.  



Your post sparked a lot of research!  Lots of rabbit holes.  In the end, we found out that you signed up for permies last month ...  BUT you also signed up in 2019!  And in an interesting way that doesn't exist anymore!

There is still at least one more thing to fix.  Our code monkey, Devaka, worked on this through the night while i was sleeping!
i stole the idea when i saw this

A shitty homesteading school with an intent to someday have 20 permanent residents.

This is not a job or a work trade.  Anybody that sees it that way is in the wrong place.  This is a place for industrious people keen on homesteading can come and practice homesteading, gardening, natural building, rocket mass heaters, etc.  Maybe some people arrive and they are industrious.  And some people arrive and they will, in time, build this bit of industrious.  

40 hours a week is the minimum to mitigate resentments.  

If a person buys a chunk of raw land, they will spend 100 hours per week building their humble home, large garden, fence, heat source, etc.  It will probably be several years of stressful effort. After all, it is done from a place of desperation instead of from a place of easy and delightful.

In the bootcamp (the gardening gardeners program), each person stays in a bunk built by past boots, eating from the gardening efforts of past boots.  And they do things to facilitate themselves or future boots.  But all day, every day, there is no desperation.  There is plenty of food and a warm bunk.  The effort is easy and delightful.  Homesteading from the perspective of abundance instead of from scarcity.

If "Maddy" is putting in 100 hours per week, made of the regular 40 hours, plus a lot of food preservation, and some building projects ....    and "Mads" is putting in 40 hours per week made strictly of the regular 40 hours, the resentment is very small.  After all, 40 hours is still substantial.  And anything after the 40 is voluntary.   Further, it has been my observation that people like "Mads" will, in time, start a bunch of their own side projects.  Because they just get to be keen on it.  



People who rent a cabin (the sepper program) dodge resentments because they are paying a lot of money.  Most of the seppers that come here spend 40 hours per week in the bootcamp.  But a few do less.  Fewer still spend zero time in the bootcamp.



I am writing this in here now because I am feeling around for better words to describe this.
